Describe the bug
When starting the chat it needs to load the direct messages using the API. However, a bunch of error were received which I suspect is slowing down the loading process significantly. Please investigate and fix.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run python3 instagram.cli chat and start chat
2. It will probably show these error, at least for Wise Nonsense account

Expected behavior
Expected to load much faster without any error, error logs should be hidden from client.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Now DMs should load significantly faster without JSONDecodeError in public request errors

The cause was that I made unnecessary instagrapi requests to get chat participant info from user id, which is already returned inside DirectThread data.
